Default super charged my JK Jeep today

I fianlly pulled the trigger and purchased a RIPP gen2 stage 2 supercharger and installed it over the weekend. It is absolutely crazy! straight up it is everything you want. After installing 35's I lost all the little bit of power that I did have and this woke it up. There is a lot of talk about pulling the inner fender well to access back plug but I did it all from the top although I spent most of my time standing right inside it (between engine and radiator). I must say it is pretty easy but it took 10 hours because I took my time. The Diablo In Tune loaded right up and shazammm! ALTHOUGH the service at Diablo completely stinks, just try calling them with a question like how do I use the axle lock function on the Diablo? it is clearly listed on there and no response.

As for RIPP cust service you guys are very cool dudes. Not sure if you will see this but I proudly endorse your product and if anyone here in Michigan wants to come to Lansing Mich. area and check it out and see the difference let me know, I'm there for you brother!

Kind Regards,
rob

I have honestly got to say almost double in HP. It is hard to explain but it really feels like a V8 under the hood. It's an automatic and it seeks like the shift points are much stronger and longer. My son and I went from 0 -60 in about 8 seconds and is pretty good considering I still have the stock 4:10 gears with 35 inch tires. 5:13 are going in this spring and then I will really have something but right now even with the added HP driving at 70Mph it wants to down shift.

Congratulations. Doing a supercharger or turbo is the next thing on my list. Mine is a 2dr. 6spd with 33's, and 3.21. Decisions decisions.

I am running 33 x 12.5 x 17 with a 2.5" lift kit on an '09 with the 3.8L. 0-60 in 8 secs is no where even close. I will be very happy with 8 secs.., less even better.
